amy? >> reporter: good morning, reggie. people are starting to wake up in this neighborhood. they're coming out to check out the scene and they can't believe what they are seeing. this is what is left of one home, maybe two. it's a mangled mess. >> one home on top of a hill on sausalito avenue came crashing down in a mud slide and landed in another home. that first home that came down, had a woman inside of it. she was trapped. her neighbors could hear her crying for help. rescue crews were able to get in there and evacuate her safely. they took her to the hospital as a precaution. she is okay and expected to recover and be fine. there was no one inside that second home. that home was vacant. now the sun is starting to come up and we can get a better sense of what we're getting here. we see how densely packed in

these homes are and the huge hill that has homes situated up on it. they have evacuated the neighborhood. but there are people on main street that weren't evacuated. they're coming out here and realizing what they heard last night and how bad the situation is. >> i remember in the night just hearing all sorts of big wind and big rain, but one of those things probably was the house sliding and i didn't realize it. but our bedroom is in the back of the house so i didn't necessarily hear it exactly. >> reporter: do you feel safe here? are you worried? >> i have to go to work in an hour. but it's kind of that situation where you don't want to be around but you do in case something bad happens, it's like should i grab things from my house? precious things? gets you thinking about that

kind of stuff. >> reporter: authorities now that the sun is coming up they're going to figure out what to do next. what their next steps are going to be. they have city engineers out here testing the soil to determine if this hillside is safe or if i could fall some more. that's how they'll start making decisions on when or whether to let people in here. stay with us as this is a developing situation right now. officials trying to figure out what to do next. they aren't going to tackle this area quite yet. they say they don't think this is going anywhere. amy hollyfield, "abc7 news." >> it's incredible to see that house this morning. of course those 50 homes still evacuated. we appreciate that update. >> we want to turn to matt keller who's in the south bay.

you have some new information on the flooding there. >> reporter: orders have been lifted so everybody is allowed to go back home if they left earlier this morning. check out the guadalupe river. let me tell you what the spokesperson said. she said that the river and creek levels have crested and they've noticed they're gone down. that's why they're vifting those vax orders this morning. nearby about 20 owners of rvs pay to park there, but when the guadalupe river gets high, it's possible the parking lot could flood. >> i remember in the night just hearing all sorts of, like, big -- >> reporter: do you feel confident that everyone is out? >> we believe we have, but until we have light, we can't confirm for sure. >> can you talk to us about the

stability and the stitchituatio the rest of the neighborhood? >> we're out and doing some soil assessments. we don't have a report on that condition of that soil. clearly with the rain, there' a lot of instability. so we don't know if there are areas that are going to be shored up. >> reporter: i've been smelling gas -- >> obviously that was from amy hollyfield's story in sausalito. we're talking about san jose here. and like i said earlier, maybe my microphone went out, but the evacuation orders have been lifted. they're saying that the rivers have crested here and ross creek has crested. that's why people are being told that they can go back home safely this morning. police did knock on doors all around the ross creek area and the area around the guadalupe

river this morning telling people and advising people to get out just in case these rivers and creeks did go over its banks. it did not appear that we had any flooding in this area and the evacuation orders have been lifted. i was told that the willow glen community center is going to remain open. they want to make sure residents are safe where they're at. i know there are some issues of getting people to their homes to the evacuation center. they're going to make sure that evacuation center remains open this morning. they say, remain alert, be informed, you can follow us on abc7news.com. sign up for those alerts from the county because you can get those on the phone. i received one at about 4:30 advising us about those evacuation orders this morning. as you can see, the rain has lined up significantly. we haven't seen much rain over the last hour and a half. so that's --

>> okay. thank you, matt. reporting live from the south bay. where those evacuation orders have been lifted. just to clarify, the mud slide that we've been reporting on, that's in sausalito, that's in the north bay. let's turn to metrologist mike nicco. >> let's flotake a look at the river flooding. moderate stage right there. same thing with the russian river, the napa river and the pet ta aluminum ma river, minor. guadalupe river is now near flood stage and falling. so some more good news there. it has crested. as far as some of our creeks, we've got some major flooding allow will low brook, all of those in the north bay, we have moderate flooding right now. let's go to sausalito. look at this, 24-hour rain totals, four and three quarters inches. and we had that peak wind gust

at 45 miles per hour. you had unstable soil and wind pushing against it, the house acting like a sail catching that wind. all of that could have contributed to that mud slide and nearly 6 inches of rain over the last 48 hours. our heaviest rain is moving through 84, if you like to take that shortcut from livermore to 680. it is getting dicey there. 680 all the way up from the san ramon valley, acosta boulevard, all the way up to concord boulevard we've got the rain right there as you head out willow past, it's heading east. we're getting a little bit of a break right now. if you look to our south and west, another chunk of energy is rolling through that's why we're keeping the storm impact scale at a two. we have thunderstorms in the

forecast that will create their own downpours, flooding and their own wind damage. in fact here's a look at my 12-hour forecast, starting in san jose, you can see just a lovely picture of the different layers of clouds. and it looks like it's not laini raining in this area. we're windy, wet and warm, temperatures falling now through noon and creates that chance of a thunderstorm. there will be a little more scattered at 4:00 and we got another chunk of energy coming through at 7:00. that's going to bring another round of thunderstorms. i know it's valentine's day, but just remember to take your umbrella and keep your significant other dry and warm. right now let's send it back to you guys. >> mike, thank you. we want to continue our breaking news coverage of the mud slide that happened overnight in sausalito. >> a house slid down a hill.

one person was inside. she was taken to the hospital and a bunch of people had to be evacuated. wane feed man is there. when we checked in with you at lost, you said there were a couple dozen people at that center. >> it's about 25 people. most of them including an infant are still here in the fire station. this happened at about 3:00 this morning, the red cross is here, these folks are waiting to see what happened. they didn't get out with a lot. among the people, zach, you were living there on the slope. you were on the low sausalito boulevard. >> yeah. on the 400 block. >> reporter: and this house fell into cresent drive. >> correct we were on the top of the hill next to the house that slid down cresent drive. >> reporter: what did you hear? >> what sounded to be two freight trains colliding together. i knew it was something a little bit than an earthquake.

it felt like either something fell on top of our house or again a bulldozer or train hit somewhere. >> reporter: was there any warning? if you're from chicago so you're probably not tuned into things like soil yet. >> not at all. i'm not used to mudslides. i am used to the wind. it was windy and rainy throughout the night. but i would have never expected anything like this. >> reporter: when you say windy and rainy, how windy and rainy? >> you could hear it whistling outside. we have glass windows and you can hear it hit the window hard. >> reporter: compare today a midwest thunderstorm? >> from what i experienced, made it a lot worst. >> reporter: when this house slid, did it hit your house? >> no, i didn't. >> reporter: the woman inside,

was she in the house? >> yes. >> reporter: did you see her? >> we did not. we were evacuated quickly. my neighbor came down and told us to get down, i grabbed a shirt, my slippers, there were power lines that we had to squeeze through. >> reporter: how much damage to her house? was she able to walk out or was it all -- >> i think they found her at the bottom of the hill. from what i've heard, she slid on the mattress and she suffered little damages. thank god she's okay. and they were able to escort her out to a hospital. >> reporter: she's out. you're out. you don't know if everybody else is out there? >> we don't know. >> how many houses were evacuated? >> 50 people have been evacuated in the community. >> this was a case where they didn't evacuate you, you heard this thing go down and you evacuated yourself? >> correct. but first responders were

probably there within about two or three minutes after the initial noise that we heard. >> what do you know about getting back up there? is it too soon to tell? >> yeah, the first responder here told us we were going to be about waiting eight hours until we hear something, but they have to see the damage and also assess the integrity of the foundation. >> you've been in california how long? >> about a year and a half? >> you should be used to this by now. >> no, i'm not. this is all a learning experience. hopefully everything will be okay and everybody will be al right. >> big scare. >> that's right. thankful no one was seriously injured. >> and the people here are treating you all right? >> absolutely. they're providing all the food, comfort, they've been great, especially mike who's leading this whole thing. doing a great job. >> speaking of mike, we got more sound with mike when we spoke with him about 20 minutes ago. let's roll some tape with him.

zach, thank you very much. >> the weather has done a number to our soils. the sunrise is coming up, we're starting to get a sense of the damage and doing a damage assessment. >> that was mike who's the emergency officer here in sausalito. he spoke with us about a half-hour ago talking about what is going to happen next. now the sun is coming up, maybe we'll get a better handle on what's going on. we do know that a house has slid several hundred feet at least from sausalito boulevard into cresent drive that roughly 50 people have been evacuated. some 25 of them are here in the fire department waiting for word. they don't know when they're going to go back to their houses. we know a woman inside the house up top road ultimate way down.

we're told she survived by riding a mattress. we don't know her name or condition or anything about her condition. the residents tell us when this house went, they had no warning. they weren't looking at the soil. it had been raining and blowing really hard all night as we have more we'll give you more. live in sausalito, wayne freedman. >> happened at 3 in the morning when it must have been so confusing. >> how terrifying. >> thanks so much for that live interview. >> the storm wreaking havoc. we want to turn now to alexis smith tracking the roads. and you mentioned an area where there's a pothole and about 30 cars who had flat tires? >> that's what calls into chp were saying. we can zoom in on our maps and talk about that area. it has cleared from the board in the backup in the areas looking better. i don't think they've made the

repair by this point. it was on the westbound 580 ramp. a large pothole opened up on the right side of the roadway. i believe they have it coned off now, but originally they were saying nine to ten cars had flats and it continued, went up to 15 and the last one was an estimate of about 30 vehicles off on the shoulder with flat tires. i'm guessing no one is taking that lane out. folks can see that and they aren't going to drive into it. but that was certainly a tough way to start the commute. we do still have a sig alert on northbound 880. this is before davis street. se semilost control. seven miles per hour on the approach that slammed for many miles now. avoid that. 580 is looking a little bit better. we got several issues as you would imagine. we'll talk more coming up in just a few. >> right now we want to go to

amy hollyfield who's in sausalito for us. she's been reporting from the scene of that mud slide where that home slid down the hill and with one person inside. amy? >> reporter: jessica, i have a new vantage point i want to show you. the home that slid, this is the path it took. it was up on that hill and came crashing down this hill, sliding down with a woman inside of it. we're told she was in the second floor of her home when it came down this hill. there is so much debris it's hard to tell what we're looking at. we see a car in the rubble in there. and now we see rescue crews and fire officials looking through the debris, trying to assess just what happened here and if this hillside is stable or if we can expect for it to give even more. the home came down this hill and then crashed into another house.

her home was up on sausalito avenue and came down and landed on crescent. the home it landed in was vacant. but there was a woman in the original home. she was -- >> a house slid down from sausalito boulevard to increacr boulevard and hit another house. >> reporter: what were you hearing? you could hear her? >> she was calling for help and then i called 911 and then the sheriff showed up and there's some emergency vehicles on the other side of the wreckage. >> reporter: do you feel confident that everyone is out? >> we believe we have. we can't confirmed for sure. >> can you talk to us about the stability for the rest of the neighborhood? >> we evacuated 50 homes in the area as a precaution. our department of public works from the city of sausalito is out and they're doing some soil assessments. we don't have a report yet on the condition of that soil.

clearly with the rain, there's a lot of instability so we don't know if there's areas that need to be shored up or if this is the extent of the slide damage. >> reporter: i've been smelling gas. has it been capped? >> it has not yet. we have a gas leak and in addition to that we have multiple power lines down. all of they see issues are being dealt with right now. >> reporter: that interview was about an hour go aheaago. you can see firefighters getting in there now to try and make sure that everyone is out. as you heard the fire chief say, they think everyone is out but they want to check and make sure. and now the sun is coming up or at least it's daylight and now they can see. earlier it was so dark and so difficult to figure out what they were dealing with, what they were looking at. so now they're going to really be able to make some progress. i checked in to see what's the

latest, what are they doing now, they're bringing in outside resources to help them get a scope of what they're dealing with and to help them figure out next steps. so daylight here. a huge advantage. now they can start making some progress in this situation that has been just so unstable and so scary for the people in this area. reggie and jessica, back to you. >> amy hollyfield reporting live from sausalito for us. you can see some water rushing down that hill where that firefighter was working. and that's the concern this morning. the hillsides are saturated. >> it's received nearly five inches of rain. >> i tried to put a graphic together, i think the numbers are too small. what i was going to show you was nearly six inches of rain on all of the reporting stations around sausalito and that's the reason why we've had the issue. let me go ahead and talk about -- they had a peak wind

gust this morning also of around 45 miles per hour. here you go. and that's another factor likely in this because when you've got wind hitting a house, it acts like a sail, that could have destabilized or shook is ground just enough for this saturated soil to -- like in an earthquake. it could have liquid fied the soil and that could have been the reason why we had the issue with the house sliding down. so the winds were gusty all throughout the overnight hours. let's talk about what's happening now. navarro river, russian river, moderate flooding.derate floodi. napa river, minor flooding. petaluma river, still rising.

the guadalupe river is the lowest. it's falling. that's the only one that's falling right now. for creek flooding we still have moderate flooding in willow brook, sonoma creek, and you notice all of these are pretty much in sonoma county. now we do have high tide rolling through all of our neighborhoods. up until another 39 minutes we've got a flood advisory for our bay shoreline because of the high hide rolling through. things are kind of quieting down a little bit on live doppler 7. you can see that there's more showers developing to our south and west. enjoy the lull while you have it. because it's not going to last very long. in fact look at this. we still have wet roads because of all the rain and we're going to have poor to dangerous commuting conditions all morning, guys, back to

welcome back. it's 7:23. we continue tracking breaking news in the north bay. this is in sausalito where overnight there was a mud slide and you are seeing here on the right-hand side of your screen that is video from overnight when a home came crashing down from sausalito boulevard onto the street below and on the left side of your screen, you're seeing sky7 above that area where that hill, where the home slid down. >> and as mike mentioned a couple of minutes ago, we are seeing a little break in the storm. so that's why you're not seeing any rain right now. that is hopefully going to help some of the firefighters and others who were there to assess what happened there. oh, my goodness. you can see what happened. and how far that house had to travel in order to slide down that hill. and as jessica pointed out, it looks like a water fall that is cascading down this hill. >> there was a person inside that home that slid down the

mountainside, the hillside, and that woman who was inside the home was apparently in a room in the second story of the home and was on a mattress as we have started to piece this together throughout the morning. she was hospitalized as a precaution. we're told that she's doing okay. she was speaking to rescuers when they first got to the scene. again you're seeing that water come down the hillside. this hill has been saturated with all this rain. mike said roughly five inches of rain coming down between 24 and 48 hours. >> you can see all the debris left behind as it went down the hill. and as sky7 continues to follow this here, you'll see where the home ended up. 50 homes had to be evacuated as a result of this mud slide and now about a couple dozen people are at an evacuation center in sausalito where they're waiting it out and kind of waiting on when they're going to be able to

go back to their homes. this happened at 3:00 a.m. this morning. people didn't know what was going on. >> that's right. and we have crews there on the ground. "abc7 news" reporter amy hollyfield is there with a vantage point from the ground and showing us what firefighters are doing right now as they clean up this mess. amy, good morning. >> >> reporter: good morning. now that it's daylight we are really getting to see the amazing scene here as the mayor of sausalito said to me, wow, it is so eye-opening. it's been so dark here for so long and we've seen mangled debris but now we can see the path that this home took up on a hill, slide all the way down from sausalito avenue down to cresent drive into another home. firefighters are now out here searching and i said for people?

they said it's just protocol. they have to make sure and see what's in there, what's underneath all of this debris. they just have to look and see. they don't know what to expect as far as when they start moving stuff around if anything else is going to come down. if it's going to slide anymore. and that's why they have evacuated this area. they've also brought in some outside resources to help them figure out their next steps. this is, you know -- they're making this up as they go. there's not a handbook for this there's not a handbook for this on california phones offers free specialized phones... like cordless phones. - ( phone ringing ) - big button, and volume-enhanced phones. get details on this state program. visit right now or call during business hours. but me and crunchy here make a great team. we even finish each other's... babybel: (to crunchy)you're supposed to say sentences... crunchy: ---sentences. babybel: well not now.

during business hours. welcome back. we continue following breaking news in sausalito where we had a home that was onboulevard, this from sky7. you see sausalito boulevard and perhaps where that hole is is where that home was situated and then it went sliding down the hillside with a woman inside. we're told that woman is doing okay. she was hospitalized with some minor injuries, as a precaution. >> so i think what is happening here is because of the angle where we're at, you can't see where the house ended up. you see the debris. but there's a big chunk of house that you can't see. this woman was on the second floor when this all happened and this hit another home. >> we are going to rejoin "good

morning, america" here on television but we have continuing coverage on our live stream online, abc7news.com, as well as our social media ♪ell as our social media ♪ welcome back to "gma." you e looking at the brand-new teaser trailer for "frozen 2," the highlyntipated sequel to the blockbuster hit "froze" just couldn't let it go. we had to bring it back. that's right. >> and you just couldn't let that go. >> i couldn't let that go. was too easy. it was too easy. but therare a lot of clues in th trailer right there. 're going to have much more coming up in "pop news," everybody. we have a lot of headlines to get to this morning as well. congress racing to pass their deal to fund the vernment the next shutdown deadline. they're expected to vote today but president trump has not yet agreed to sign the deal.

and the west is getting hit with one of the strongest storms this season, millions facing flooding, possible mudslides in california. and the longest running mars rover ever, you see it right there, over and out. nasa says the opportunity is officially gone after 15 years. it was only supposed to last for three months but it just kept going and going and eventually covered 28 miles and provided nasa with crucial information about mars. that was something right there. >> it really was. so is your interview, jussie smollett, and so many questions out there about what happened. >> you know, it's been two weeks and there are very few leads leaving many to have questions about that night. >> why did you hesitate to call the police? >> there's a level of pride there. we live in a society where, as a gay man, you are considered somehow to be weak and i'm not weak. i am not weak. and we as a people are not weak. so, during that time before they

came, took them about maybe a half hour to come, and during that time i was looking at myself just like checking myself out. i saw the bruise on my neck like the little -- the rope burn around my neck and then -- but i smelled bleach. i know the smell of bleach and i saw on my sweatshirt it had marks on it like spots on it when you have a bad bleach job, so then i was like there's bleach on me too so, when the police came, i kept the clothes on, i kept the rope on. >> you had the rope on the entire time? >> it wasn't like wrapped around but, yeah, i wanted them to see. i wanted them to see what this was. i told them what happened, everything. i also asked them to turn their body cams off because they were trying to stay in the hallway. i was like, please just come in. i don't want a big scene with my neighbors and the second round of police officers, i went down to where it happened and i walked them through exactly what happened and i looked up and i saw that there was a camera

directly on the light post that is in the intersection so i'm like, there it is. >> reporter: a potential break in the case that would eventually fall apart days later. >> and then the detective told me that the camera inside of the casing was facing north so they didn't have it, and that was disappointing. >> the vast majority of people have been supportive and loving and understanding and then as time has gone on, that there's no -- it's 20:00 in the morning. you're going to subway. sub zero. >> subway is open 24 hours. people kill me when they say things like that. subway's open for 24 hours for a reason so when you're hungry at night and you ain't got no food, you go to subway. the camera facing north, how is that my issue? it feels like if i had said it was a muslim or a mexican or someone black, i feel like the doubters would have supported me

a lot much more, a lot more, and that says a lot about the place that we are in our country right now. >> reporter: many of those doubts surround the issue of his phone with some wondering why he didn't initially hand it over to authorities. >> they wanted me to give my phone to the tech for three to four hours. i'm sorry, but i'm not going to do that. >> why? >> because i have private pictures and videos and numbers. my partner's number. my family's number. my castmates' numbers, my friends' numbers, my private email, my private songs, my private voice memos. i don't know what that's going to be to hand over my phone for -- and honestly by then inaccurate false statements had already been put out there. >> earlier this week he submitted phone records from within an hour of the incident but chicago police said they were limited and heavily

redacted, adding, they need additional information to corroborate the investigative timeline. his attorneys tell us they are willing to cooperate. smollett also says he's been troubled by inaccurate claims. >> what other ones had you heard that were inaccurate? >> that i said they were wearing maga hats. i never said that. i didn't need to add anything like that. they called me a [ bleep ]. they called me a [ bleep ]. there's no which way you cut it. i don't need some maga hat as the cherry on top of some racist sundae. i've heard that it was a date gone bad, which i so resent that narrative. i'm not going to go out and get a tuna sandwich and a salad to meet somebody. that's ridiculous. and it's offensive. yes, there's grinder, yes, there's jacked. yes, there's all of these things which i have not been on in years.

i can admit i was on that back in the day. i was single. you know what i'm saying? but i haven't been on that in years. >> what were your injuries? >> they did x-rays. i didn't have -- it was reported that i had like fractured ribs or cracked ribs or something like that, that wasn't true. i was just in a lot of pain, you know, my clavicle was messed up. my rib was bruised but i wasn't -- nothing was cracked, like i walked into the hospital. i walked out of the hospital. >> why do you think you were targeted? >> i can just assume, i mean, i come really, really hard against 45. i come really, really hard against his administration and i don't hold my tongue. >> i want to ask you about jussie smollett. >> i think that's horrible. it doesn't get worse as far as i'm concerned. >> were you aware that he made that statement? >> i saw it. i don't know what to say to that, you know.

you know, i appreciate him not brushing over it. >> and there is no doubt in your mind what motivated this attack? >> i could only go off their words. i mean, who says [ bleep ], "empire" [bleep], this maga country, ties a noose around your neck and pours bleach on you, and this is just a friendly fight? i will never be the man that this did not happen to. i am forever changed. and i don't subscribe to the idea that everything happens for a reason, but i do subscribe to the idea that we have the right and responsibility to make something meaningful out of the things that happen to us, good and bad. >> again, that's the first time that he's given such a detailed account. he was really excited when he saw the camera. >> there's no way he could have

known the camera was turned away. >> detectives didn't know -- it was inside the casing -- that it was facing the other direction and he had no idea about that and he -- i asked if there were other possible threats that he had received and he did talk about the letter that was sent to the fox studio where "empire" is set. police have confirmed that letter and we'll show it to you in our next hour. more importantly, there's many reasons why jussie wanted to sit down, first to say thank you to his many supporters, to answer the questions, the critics, but the times that he became emotional is when he was talking about gay youth and the lgbtq community, the message for them and how they are viewing how this is being handled. >> but he seemed pretty forthcoming. >> he did not -- nothing was out of bounds. there was nothing that i could not ask and he truly wanted to -- and he'll explain in the next hour the four main reasons why he wanted -- >> a lot of anger there too. >> oh, yes, and as he said, he's not just angry at what happened then he's angry at what happened

he realizes -- he's on social media and realizes that people, you know, some people are going to look at his interview and think one thing. he has no control over that. but he is -- is adamant and as i said earlier the police have said he's been consistent, that he's been credible, that he has been cooperative and the investigation is still ongoing. >> they're still investigating. >> just two weeks. >> and we have a lot more coming up in the next hour. all right. and coming up also, when we come back we have that scare in the sky for those passengers right there. a close talker. so i was excited about all-new colgate total. its breakthrough formula does more... wonderful. sensitivity, strengthens teeth... it kills germs through my whole mouth.. i like your confidence. thanks mr. lee! now there's no such thing as too close. yes, there is. no, there's not. yes there is. no, there's not! okay. all-new colgate total.

>> thank you, mik you're just t right now, welcome to our continuing coverage, breaking news in sausalito in the north bay where a hillside has come crashing down, a home that crashed down from sausalito boulevard onto the street below and with a person inside, that person is said to be doing okay and now we are watching as crews are trying to assess how much damage is out there and what to do next. >> so this has been two days of storms all across the bay area. but obviously it was hard hit in sausalito where they've had five inches of rain in the past 24 hours and are expecting at least another half inch today. right now it is not currently raining but the water continues to flow down this hillside where

this mud slide happened. what you're seeing is the path that it took. you see all the debris as it goes down this hillside. you have to continue following it down to the very bottom which is where if you were to -- you're going to be able to see there's what remains of this home. you see the roof of it. you see where it stopped. and this is where shortly after 3:00 a.m., once officers got there, they were able to hear that there was a woman inside who was calling for help and that's when they went in and made the rescue. and that's when they had to start knocking on doors, waking the people up who weren't already stirred up because of the loud noise that this mud slide made. wake them up, get them out of their homes and those people didn't have much time to get out. this was a very dangerous situation so they had to get them out to a nearby fire station, now being moved to city hall. >> the stability very concerning and what you're seeing now from

sky7 is where sausalito boulevard was originally. that homecoming down the hillside as it panning down there onto crescent avenue. and you can see how closely together these homes are in sausalito all on the hillside. that's why we have 50 homes evacuated right now. there's a concern that with more rain, that's forecasted throughout the day, this hillside will continue to become more unstable and we could see larger areas where they're affected by this mud coming down and if you see here, this is part of sausalito boulevard that was also wiped out, the street itself, and then that home where it was once situated is right here in the middle of your screen where that hole is. you can also see runoff, that water that still continues to come down the hillside. >> and we also saw earlier, you could see what looked to me to be two different vehicles along this path, this mud slide path. we don't know if those vehicles belonged to the home that ended

up at the bottom of the hill or if they were taken from a nearby driveway or even the road because as you could see, there's a big chunk of the road that is missing. skymap7 was showing you where the road usually goes and there's no more path there. i don't know if you can get that skymap7 back up. but once we get that back up. there it is. sausalito boulevard is supposed to go across and currently it doesn't exist. so this is where we believe that home to have been and don't know if there were cars parked along it or what. but two of them ended up going down this hill with it. it is pretty amazing when you look at how far that went down that this was the only home that traveled down because as our reporter on the scene there showed us, there's a home that must have barely missed and so there are people inside there. they have now been evacuated as well and are trying to figure out what to do because at this point it is not safe to go back

to these homes. >> no, and you have homes affected on so many different streets there. on sausalito boulevard itself, as well as those homes on crescent that have debris next to them and there's definitely damage in that area as well down blow on crescent avenue right nar main in sausalito. it is 8:00 a.m. we want to welcome our viewers. we are going to stay throughout. we're going to cover "good morning, america" right now because of this ongoing breaking news situation that is happening in sausalito, in the north bay where we have had a major mud slide overnight wiping out one home. there was a person inside of that home. we're told that person is okay right now but you can see there is widespread destruction in that area. a road is missing and there are many homes evacuated. >> and the rain isn't done yet, mike? >> no. i'm looking at this live shot

from sky7 and this mud slide started above the road in the house and hit the house and pushed the house down all the way to the road below it. that's pretty impressive. look at that. that's 101. so this is just to the east of 101. so if you're looking out 101, you could see where this began and how close it got to 101 and taking parts of 101 down. live doppler 7 shows a little bit of light rain starting to come back into this area. and it's going to be light. it's going to be coming in and it's going to be hanging around, i'd say, for about an hour, maybe an hour and a half of light rain. the good news, it's not going to be heavy. and the winds have calmed down significantly. but as we head throughout this event, we could have a thunderstorm with heavy rain. but you're seeing live doppler 7 on your right side of your screen right there and that's the slug of moisture. thankfully it's all green.

if that starts to turn to yellow or orange or red, then we're in a little bit of a pickle because that will be moderate intensity rain and that's, along with all that exposed soil now, could cause more mudslides and debris flows out of that thing and it could theoretically this mud slide could climb up the hill towards 101 if the rain comes down heaviest. that would be a worst-case scenario. that's a look from here. we've got more rain on the way and we've got more traffic to talk about. we're going to send it over to alexis and find out what's going on with our commute. >> i was going to continue coverage on this mud slide here this morning that took out the house and we are looking at skymap7 on sky7 as mike pointed out, this was really close to the 101 corridor there. so definitely a relief that it certainly didn't start higher than it did and blocking any

lanes of 101. i have not heard anything from chp about them closing any lanes as a precaution. traffic is moving just fine in both directions, northbound, and southbound, and this did start down the hillside from the 10 corridor. we talk to chp all morning long, as soon as we have any information from them, perhaps the marin county sheriff's department, we will pass it along to you. as of right now, that looks like that is not structurally impaired or impacted by this mud slide and i will let you know if that changes. back to you guys. >> alexis, thank you. we do want to note that the storm is affecting the entire bay area. we want to check out now in the south bay with matt keller who has been tracking an ongoing situation there. earlier there were some evacuation advisories. those have since been lifted.

matt, what's new there? >> reporter: about an hour ago we got the update that the advisory to evacuate has been lifted and everybody is allowed to go back home in this neighborhood. we're at the bridge here at al ma avenue just behind the elks lodge. you can see it's just below probably 14 feet right now and it has been receding this morning. obviously the concern is less and less as the water continues to go down and down. i talked to a spokesperson with the san jose emergency operation center and they told me that they say the river and creek levels have crested and noticed that they're going down all around. that's why they lifted that evacuation order. nearby at the elks lodge, 20 owners of rvs pay to park there, and maybe a handful of them decided it was smart to evacuate. police came at around 4:30 to tell them to leave. you're talking about minnesota

avenue, willow glen way, all the way to atlanta avenue, all those neighborhoods, police were going door to door and telling people, advising people to leave. some decided they were going to pack up their stuff. we talked to one guy who has whine in his basement and he pulled all of those bottles up. and he said he's going to put all those wine bottles down below. but no damage, no flooding reported in this area. ross creek had those evacuation advisories given to people in person by police officers. but the good news, again, we're looking at the guadalupe river. it's high but it's not flooding. back to you in the studio. >> certainly a sigh of relief for folks because we have really bad flooding in san jose in these past recent years. and considering what we're seeing in the north bay, they must be feeling pretty lucky right now? >> reporter: could you repeat what you said? >> i was saying considering what

we're watching in the north bay with that mud slide, these folks must be feeling pretty lucky especially because we have seen a lot of flooding in the san jose area in these recent years? >> reporter: two years ago we had that flooding along coyote creek and i believe that's why the city reacted the way it did. it sent out people to all these neighborhoods last night to tell everybody, be prepared, pack a bag, and that way if they did come around this morning which they did and knocked on the door, they could get out with their belongings and not have to worry about packing up and then leaving. when the flooding happens, it could happen so quickly. that was the big concern. and that's why the city reacted in the way they did. we're still concerned about mudslides in the santa cruz mountains. we heard about those mudslides. and my photographer drove over from santa cruz. he saw a spot which they had a mud slide there, there were

debris there. there's that big concern up in the mountains. and we'll have to wait. i'm looking up right now, but i see clouds but i also see blue skies and that's the best news for the flooding situation. >> matt keller live in san jose this morning. >> let's get back to video that we had from earlier this morning from a mud slide in sausalito. this was overnight that this happened and you can see still dark in this video where this home came crashing down, an entire hillside wiped out. this home had a person inside, a woman, who was in the second story of the home when this came sliding down the hillside. she was hospitalized. we are told she had minor injuries, but was speaking to rescuers when they found her. and this has prompted an evacuation for nearly 50 homes in that area as crews are out

there right now trying to figure out how stable this hillside is. there are many homes there, densely packed in that area where sausalito is and this is just below highway 101. >> when we first went on the air at 4:00 a.m., these are images from not long after the mud slide happened, and it was a little difficult to tell just how far the house traveled. >> right. >> in my head, i think that it seemed to me it was just like, you know, a few feet or something. that's not what happened. this was hundreds of feet that this house traveled down a steep hillside. amy hollyfield has been on the story all morning long. as soon as that -- as soon as we got that first light, amy, things changed, at least in our response to the story because we could see just how massive this mud slide must have been. >> reporter: yeah. when it was dark outside we

couldn't even really get a sense of what we were looking at. we just knew we saw a bunch of debris and the mayor of sausalito was out here, and he's a realtor. he said he was trying to look for any kind of distinguishing factor that would give him an indication of what homes -- which homes he was looking at. and he couldn't figure that out. now that it's daylight, we're a little -- knocked off our feet at what we're looking at. we can't believe what that woman went through and how far her home went down that hill and this is where it landed, crashing into another home. you're looking at the debris of two homes along with trees that were taken out along the way. don't forget that home right there to the right and how closely it came to getting taken out. the homes here are built so close together and it's just remarkable to think about the lucky break that home got.

but now the cleanup begins but first the assessment and that's what crews are doing right now. they're trying to figure out what to do next. what would be the safest thing to do next and how to protect this neighborhood while they also clean up and one more element, it just started to rain again. now we're going to be dealing with more rain. you can hear and see the runoff still coming down the hill and now some more is falling right now. >> that is certainly not good news. >> just about every element going on here. >> that is certainly not good news for folks out there. amy, earlier you mentioned a gas leak. can you still smell gas? >> i do. i still smell gas. i asked a pg&e worker who was here hours ago what's going on? what's the plan on capping that line? he said they're coming. that's the last we've heard.

i don't know -- i don't know what the situation is there but that was how many hours ago? that was -- >> at least three or more. >> that was about five hours ago. >> wow. amy, you were talking earlier about a woman who lives around there. can you tell us again what that conversation was like? >> she's actually standing right here. kate, do you mind if i ask you a few questions? she's all dressed for work now. and it looks like you were coming by to take one more photo before heading off to work. >> i don't have morning face anymore. >> you look amazing. you look a lot better than i do. talk to us about where your emotions are right now especially as you're about to leave your home. >> now we can see where it started up there, it was too dark this morning to see that. and it looks like a -- you look up there and it looks like the same patch of land next to it and so you start thinking, like,

it could happen right there and slide over here and get these houses. how do you predict these things? you don't. you just -- i guess it's what we're signing up for by living over here. i have never experienced anything like this. >> how long have you lived here? >> two years. >> it's a beautiful place. >> yeah. >> but the homes are densely packed in here and these are some steep hills. >> and we needed the rain so much. i didn't even rain between march and november of last year and now it's like we're getting all of it at once. and the land can't handle it, obviously. >> how are you feeling about what to do next from your standpoint? >> i don't know if there is anything to do. we just have to -- i don't know. get out if we need to get out. i'm going to work so --

>> where are you sleeping tonight? >> i think -- >> okay. unfortunately we're having some trouble with amy's audio on scene. kate telling us she's going to go to work today and she's awe struck that this happened in our neighborhood. >> she's still trying to process what happened and where does she go from here, what's the plan. >> and amy mentioned just now, minutes ago, that it was starting to rain again and that's a concern because we see that runoff going down the highly side. >> tit won't be as intense as te rain we had over the last 24 hours which was nearly five inches. it's just green right there on live doppler 7 on the left side -- or the right side of your screen. but the bull's-eye is on sausalito right now. we've got more rain developing upstream which happens to be the

southwest and thankfully it's all green also. and here's a rain for just marin county in the lowest total is 4.65. the highest total is more than eight inches and the marion civic center, nearly six inches. here's the way the rain is going to fall. we're going to reset the clock, we're at zero with the rain coming in right now, it's going to leave us about a third of an inch by noon. that's a nicer, gradual rain that will hopefully be able to soak in more than runoff. it's not going to be as extensive as it was last night. from noon until about seven t models are saying, you'll have some spotty rain drizzle. but 730 tonig:30 tonight throug minute we'll get more rain. it's going to fall rather

gradually. we have a potential for thunderstorms today, tomorrow, and also saturday. and you're going to get localized heavier amounts of rain and localized wind gusts. overall the rain is going to fall gradually and over a longer duration of time than what we've dealt with unless we get one of those thunderstorms and all bets are off and more mudslides will likely happen. that's the worst-case scenario. >> thank you. let's go now to alexis who's been tracking the roads for us throughout the morning and unfortunately, really the whole bay area, we've seen a lot of problems. >> we sure have. and you guys pointed out, this slide is really close to 101 and that is a concern here this morning. so it is just to the east of the 101 corridor in sausalito. started right around sausalito boulevard and slid down onto crescent avenue. i can zoom in on our traffic maps and show you where this is. and there you go, you can see live doppler 7. we're getting some more rain in

that area right now as well. so right now i'm not seeing much of a delay on the 101 corridor. it looks like the northbound side maybe a little bit of slowdown has filled in. but i've checked with all of my sources in the north bay and no one is saying anything about 101 being in danger of having the land in that area fall out. we are keeping a close eye on that. if we end up hearing anything, we'll pass that along. but right now that does not seem to be a danger. >> thank you, alexis, we were just talking about those folks who live nearby. some people weren't evacuated but there were about 50 homes that were told get out of there. and wayne freedman talked to some of those folks who woke up in the middle of the night. what an experience? >> reporter: there were about 25 people behind me in what was the evacuation center here at the fire department. this happened at 3:00 a.m.

they're descriptions are, it sounded like a freight train. they had no warning and all of a sudden it just came down. i spoke with one resident named zach garza. it showed his house in relationship to the hill and after he saw that, he was just struck at how close this came to being more disastrous than it was. he said he didn't see the woman in the house in the duplex that slid down the hill, but he said he thought it was a couple hundred of yards. he said first he thought it was a deck and then it was much more than a deck. a short time ago a person who had been up there showed us some photographs of this scene. he wasn't able to give them to us. but it looks like somebody went along -- with a toy and just knocked it down. sticks and concrete, everything, spread all out. you've got a better view of it tan we have because you've seen

some of the pictures. at this point they're still searching up there because this landslide took out four cars. they were convinced that nobody was in the cars, but they want to make certain. let's give you an interview with the emergency operations officer in sausalito. we spoke with him just a couple of minutes ago. >> the weather has done a number to our soils. reports coming back to the command post. we're starting to get a sense of the damage and doing a damage assessment. >> reporter: they're still trying to get an assessment. the people who were here in the evacuation center have moved to city hall. there were about 25 of them. the 26th was an infant. all of them here in their pajamas, bathrobes. a couple were able to get on

clothes and most of them have no idea when they'll be able to get back up there. they're thinking it may be a couple of days before the area opens and there are concerns that the damage may be more widespread. we're told that the sheriff's department is going to be up there in a a little while. but it's very big. the last time there was a mud slide like this in that area here in sausalito was 1982. it was not as severe as this one. there was another incident on bridgeway boulevard, that was a case where the hill slide into a house as well. but nothing like what we have seen here. in fact we haven't seen a mud slide like this in marin county in years and years and years. so a lot of assessing to be done. a lot of figuring out to be done. a lot of looking at this hillside to made sure that it's going to be able to hold. and a lot of residents who don't know when they're going to get home. that is the latest in sausalito, live abc7.

>> that's the first time i've heard four cars were involved. we saw two. was that someone from the firefighters telling you that? >> i saw a pictur of one of them. it was a black bmw. you could tell because the bmw logo is the only thing that was visible. everything else was covered by mud, covered by wood, covered by concrete, just buried and i don't think anybody was in there but if they were in there, they'd have a hard time getting out. they're doing everything they can to check to make sure that everybody is okay. so far it appears we and they have been fortune but this is still an evolving situation. >> it seems like we've been spared. let's hope that remains. thanks so much. >> we will continue to have that video there on the left side of your screen of that mud slide. but we want to turn now to matt keller who's down in san jose

watching the guadalupe river and all the creeks there in the area. matt? >> reporter: hi, jessica, what a crazy morning here in san jose. police officers knocking on doors telling people that they should evacuate their homes in several different neighborhoods including this neighborhood around the guadalupe river and also the neighborhood around ross creek at cherry avenue in willow glen. i was told it had gotten over 15 feet earlier this morning. as you look now, it appears that it's under 14 feet which is great news that it's going that direction, down, and that is what the emergency operation center here in san jose, a spokesperson told me that they have seen the rivers and creeks in san jose rest and now they're headed in the other direction. and it appears we have some light rain today. it appears that these creeks and rivers are going in the right direction for the people who are living in these neighborhoods. what a wild morning it was. a lot of people getting all

their stuff packed and ready to go and getting in cars and moving on. i talked with -- i got a message from the red cross about how many people were at the willow glen community center this morning, that was the evacuation center, and they should they got 20 people and they halls had some pets who were there as well. so people were evacuating there. of course it was 4:30 in the morning. some people may have just headed to work or went to the homes of friends and family. so at that time, we did see those people packing up their cars. obviously brought up memories of what happened on coyote creek two years ago. but the city of san jose very prepared this time. last night they were knocking on doors and telling people to pack up and be ready to go. and then this morning at 4:00 police started knocking on doors and advising people to go ahead and leave. but that evacuation order was lifted at about 7:00 this

morning so everybody allowed to go back in their homes. they're saying it's okay for people to return and we're looking at the guadalupe river. it is going down and that is the good news for neighbors here. they do say, make sure that you are keeping in touch with information whether it's through us, "abc7 news," abc7news.com our twitter and facebook feeds and making sure you sign up for the emergency texts through the santa clara county. >> thank you so much. >> here's a look at the river flooding forecast. now, we've got all of these rivers still climbing, the navarro river, moderate flood stage, russian river, moderate, minor flooding in napa. the guadalupe river is the only river that's now dropping and it was near flood stage and dropping. we do have some creeks across the north bay that are creating moderate flooding right now.

so you live near willow brook, sonoma creek, it's too late to move your stuff now if it's -- because it's probably been inundated. if it hasn't, there's the chance they could rise amg little bit. but more than likely they're going to start falling. we want to go back to sausalito. you can see the light rain, the steady light rain that's going to be around for a few hours is there. as we look offshore, there's more coming. now the south bay, the santa cruz mountains are going to take the bulk of this moisture as the south bay will get rain shadowed. that's why you're seeing the guadalupe river start to drop and already in its height. here's a look at how much rain we've had so far and we go from 4.65 inches in novato to nearly 8 and a quarter and that's out of this storm so far. here's the newest rain

potential. we're resetting the clock at 8:00. so about 25 minutes ago. there you go, up until noon, we got a chance of another quarter to a third of an inch and during the evening hours, we'll add a little bit more rain and we'll get up to four tenths to a half of an inch. this will run off, but it won't runoff like the rain we've had the past 24 hours. we're not going to see that happen again. >> that's a relief, mike. let's get back to that breaking news in sausalito. on the left-hand side you see video that we have from overnight when a home came crashing down on sausalito boulevard going down an entire hillside onto the street below, crescent avenue with a person inside. that person is okay, but there was a major mud slide and now on the right-hand side you're seeing the conditions right now that folks are dealing with. it was raining there and it does

look like it is raining currently. >> you can see how close it came to that home on the right that has that deck. and you can see how it actually hit the home on the left. so that home on the left essentially stopped this house from moving even farther this morning at about 3:00 a.m., you can just imagine, it was pitch dark outside, people start hearing this loud noise coming down the hill. they have no idea what's going on and some of them obviously got woken up by it. other people who weren't, they were told to get out right now. >> right now on the left you can see where that street was. sausalito boulevard and those other homes where crews are assessing the damage. there are still crews out there just trying to determine if those other homes are still okay, if they are in peril of sliding down that hill as well and there are about 50 homes that have been evacuated in this area.

there's still runoff. you see there's some potholes in the street there on sausalito boulevard. so it's still very much a danger out there. we don't know a timeline yet of how long this is going to take and when folks might be allowed to go back into their homes to get some of their belongings. >> right now there is no power there and there's the smell of gas in this neighborhood, it's been there for hours and we understand that pg&e is at least on its way to getting that taken care of. so we'll continue checking in on that. but this is not the place where anyone wants to be right now. there's still a concern about how safe it is to be in this area and if other homes are in danger of suffering the same fate as this one home that went all the way down hundreds of feet, down this hillside. this is very close, just to give you an idea of where this is, it's very close to 101. if we were to zoom out, you would see 101 at the top of this picture and the tunnel is not

that far from there. that gives you a little geographic landmark about what we're talking about. the left-hand side is showing you where the missing part of the road is on skymap7. and then on the right-hand side is where the house ended up. >> and you can see that basically broke apart as it was going down that hill. there's debris everywhere. those cars have been unscathed -- >> those cars were. >> there are four that slid down the hill and are damaged. that is just the latest information that we have. obviously there are so many homes densely packed into the hillside area there and that is the major concern as we move forward throughout this day with more rain coming down, how stable is this hillside and which homes there in that area are still in a danger zone. >> we're not going to get the same amount of rain that we got in the last 24 hours, but there's still rain in the forecast, perhaps another half an inch by the time that we are

done with today. so this isn't over yet. the stunning thing is just seeing these daylight pictures next to the nighttime pictures how much damage was incurred from this house, rolling down this hill. and how far it traveled. and the fact that a woman was able to survive this whole ordeal. it will be something when we get to see her and talk to her to have her describe what this was like. >> those residents feel fortune that it was only one home that's been wiped out by this mud slide. it's almost unbelievable and that that home didn't come crashing down into another one down below. it did hit one, but it was vacant. but overall only one person was injured in all of this. >> you can see how much rain was coming down in sausalito. this is giving you an example of how saturated and wet again it became this morning. so this has ben quite a
